In particular, the control changes search behavior to return the actual entry 
for a referral entry, instead of returning a searchReference. In the other 
overlays, e.g. dynlist, the control changes search behavior to return the 
actual entry, instead of trying to expand the list of dynamic members.

For translucent, the control should return the actual local entry, instead of 
trying to return the result of merging local and remote data.

The use case is the same as for the other overlays - make sure we get actual 
entries as they are stored in the server, as opposed to some dynamically 
transformed version of the entries.
